Sicilian-Style Meat Roll

(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Beef

Ingredients

  • 2 slightly beaten eggs
  • 3/4 cup soft bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup tomato juice
  • 2 tbsp snipped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 lbs ground beef
  • 6- 1 oz thin slices cooked prosciutto
  • 1 3/4 cups shredded mozzarella

Directions

  1. In a large bowl combine the eggs, bread crumbs, tomato juice, parsley, oregano, salt, pepper and garlic. Stir in the ground beef, mixing well.

  2. On foil, pat mixture into a 12×10- inch rectangle. Arrange the prosciutto slices on the meat, leaving a 3/4-inch border around all edges. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of the mozzarella cheese over the prosciutto. Starting from a short end, carefully roll up meat, using foil to lift; seal edges and ends. Place roll, seam side down, in a 13×9×2-inch baking pan.

  3. Bake in 350 oven for 1 1/4 hrs or until temperature reaches 170 and juices run clear. Sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella over roll. Return to over about 5 minutes or until cheese melts.
